A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you want to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share views about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you get a cloud hosting package from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host only one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it'll open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to gain access to numerous functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
